      <step>  container with lid. (Any combination and/or quantity of salad ingredients
  can be used to suit your tastes or preferences.) On top of this salad
  mixture, layer the next three ingredients in the order listed. (These
  ingredients should not be altered.) Spread dressing (see ingredients and
  directions below) evenly on salad to sides of bowl or container. Spread
  shredded cheddar cheese on top of salad dressing. Cover salad with plastic
  wrap or lid and let set overnight in refrigerator to develop flavors fully.
  
  Salad Dressing:
  
  3 to 4 c. mayo or salad dressing, as preferred 6 T. sugar salt and pepper,
  to taste
  
  Mix well. Let mixture sit in refrigerator until salad is ready for it. Stir
  again before spreading on salad. (If you use salad dressing instead of
  mayo, you might want to decrease the qty of sugar used by a couple of
  tablespoons or omit entirely to suit your particular tastes.)
  
  Notes: This is THE one dish that I am required to bring when my family
  gathers for Holidays. I'm not allowed in without it. &lt;g&gt;
